I'm fine with him being labeled as an annoying git or whatever, he could very well be the second coming of Rick Reilly for all I know (I read probably two dozen Rovell pieces a year & those are usually cut & dried kind of things)

I just don't get that particular column being the source of major grief with the possible exception of people who either recognize how shitty their own feed is because of the advice they haven't followed (and don't like being reminded of it) or are too stupid to know when they're getting good advice.
